We certainly wish to thank all those who helped to make our first annual Leah Hoover Memorial Ride on September 18, 2005 a huge success. We had 200 vehicles in the ride and 270 people attend. We raised $5,058.00 for our fund although we will need to pay out some for the ride expenses. It was a great deal of work and could not have happened without the help and support of all of you. We apologize if we have missed anyone below. Please let us know so we can add you. God bless you for all your efforts and support! Click HERE to view pictures from the event!

You can now help the Leah Hoover Memorial Fund when you order flowers for yourself or someone else at A Touch of Spring Florals in Roaring Spring. They have started a program called Send and Save in which the customer not only receives the flowers they order but can also support our fund at the same time. Simply call 814-224-5723 or stop in at 230 Spang Street in Roaring Spring and when you place a flower order tell them you want to “Send and Save” and you would like the donation to go to the Leah Hoover Memorial Fund. You will have your flowers and they will send our fund 10% of the purchase price as a donation. (Wire orders are excluded.) Thank you for supporting us through this program. Please be sure to let your friends and family know so they can also support our fund.
Our sincerest thanks to all the volunteers who helped with Bingo and to the Central High School Cheerleaders and Hershberger Memorial Pool lifeguards who helped by giving "tattoos". We wish to thank Martinsburg RV Expo for donating the use of a camper to "smoke up" for the thermal imaging camera demonstration. We also want to extend thanks to Cove Candle Company for donating candles to be sold for our benefit. Our gratitude goes to the public for supporting us with their donations and attendance at the week-long celebration at Morrisons Cove Memorial Park. And we extend a special thanks to Dave Gallagher and Bob Bainbridge for bringing in the thermal imaging cameras so we could have the public demonstration.
